I guess, you are talking about smtp address, right?It is being generated based on Email address policy defined in your Exchange environment...

HI, what is you mean calling "SamAccountName ".If you want to add your cooperate domain name instead of the locale domain, you can use Email Address policy as amit said.

Hi,you mean to say that your alias name should be same as windows logon name right ?I just tried account with the above command andworked perfectly fine. Alias name was same as the samaccountname or user logonname Regards,Krishnahttp://smtpport25.wordpress.com

If you need to set the email address according to alias then follow the below table Variable Description %g Used for given name (first name) %i Used for middle initial %s Used for surname (last name) %d Used for display name %m Used for Exchange alias %xs Uses the x number of letters of the surname. For example if x=2, then the first two letters of the surname are used. %xg Uses the x number of letters of the given name. For example, if x=2, then the first two letters of the given name are used.
